GRAGarden Room ArchitectA white-label architect for UK garden room companies. I turn your site visit into a submission-ready planning package, including the conservation area and listed building cases.
Real projects, remaining sketches to be swapped for photography
Most garden rooms don't need permission unless the site has a conservation area, an Article 4 direction, a listed building, or a footprint that pushes past permitted development. That's where a specialist makes the difference between an approval and a lost sale.
Engaged per project or on a standing arrangement, sized to how many sites you're quoting a month. Covers planning and, once a design crosses the 30m² threshold, building regulations too.
Site plans, floor plans, elevations and sections prepared to local authority standard, with permitted development or full planning route confirmed before drawing starts.
Heritage statements, listed building consent drawings, and pre-application advice for the sites your team currently turns away.
Portal submission, officer liaison, and revision turnaround through to decision, so your client hears from one person, not a chain of forwarded emails.
Once a garden room passes 30m² it's no longer exempt from building regulations; building control expects structural calculations, means of escape, fire separation, and thermal performance evidence alongside the drawings. I prepare this package in step with the planning set, so a large-format room doesn't stall at the point of sale or fail a building control check after the client has already committed.
A general arrangement plan and four elevations, dimensioned and referenced exactly as a planning officer expects to see them, issued as a draft for your sign-off before anything goes to the portal.
The same pipeline every enquiry runs through, so you always know where a job stands.
Existing property details, photos, and any dimensions you already have, nothing formal required to start.
A full planning pack, and a building regs pack too if the room needs one, worked up in your branding.
Nothing reaches the council until you and your client have approved the drawings.
Filed on the planning portal directly, no forwarding emails back and forth.
Further information requests get handled as they land, not queued up for you to chase.
Every update reaches you as it happens, so your client never hears "let me check" from you.
The council issues its decision, and you're told the outcome straight away.
Every drawing carries ARB registration, the difference planning officers notice, and the reassurance your clients ask about when a site gets complicated.

No ticketing system, no account manager relaying messages. One architect, reachable directly, for every project in your pipeline.
I don't just hand over a set of drawings and disappear. When a site sits in a conservation area, backs onto a listed wall, or falls inside an AONB, I'm the one in the room arguing your case to the planning officer, not you.
Meghna, on what happens after you send over a tricky siteDrawings are prepared and issued without needing a local office, the same setup that already serves supplier partners working across England and Wales.
Whether it's one conservation area enquiry or a standing arrangement across your whole pipeline, the first conversation is a fifteen-minute call to see if the fit is right.
